A guy has sparked debate online after expressing unhappiness with the continual push men endure to marry, claiming that marriage provides little benefit to men.
The man expressed his opinion in a viral video that circulated on social media, in which he openly questioned the usefulness of marriage from a male perspective.
In the video, the man criticised the expectations that males face before and after marriage. He contended that males are frequently forced to struggle financially to meet their marital duties.
According to him, the process starts with a man working hard to obtain money before asking a woman for her hand in marriage.
He also grumbled about cultural expectations that men must satisfy the woman’s family and community.
The man further claimed that even after marriage, the financial burden remained with the spouse.
He stated that the guy is required to provide for his wife and her relatives while also caring for his own family. He went on to say that, other from reproducing, he believes many women do nothing to help with household finances.
Part of his statement read: “Go and marry, go and marry, what is the gain of getting married as a man.”
“Na you go suffer make money, go s¥ffer look for woman, go still the beg the family and the village to allow you marry their daughter with your own hard earned money and she still come and destroy your peace of mind”.

Many social media users swiftly reacted to the video, sharing their differing perspectives on the matter.
Despite his initial reservations, Roland, a user, described his marriage experience as favourable.

He wrote: “About 15 years ago I was afraid having a girl friend not to talk of marriage. I am well financially but as the year goes by I started feeling lonely and started asking myself if I die now who will inherit. I got married and I never regretted it until today.”
Another user, Danito, advised men to prioritise their wellbeing while discussing financial responsibilities within families.
He wrote: “After you train children finish them go they share 15% for papa,85% for mama wey no spend shi shi….Men take care of yourself oo.”
Adigun, however, suggested that the problem may not be marriage itself but the choice of partner.
He wrote: “He is obviously pained sha…. nevertheless we still have good & decent ladies out there that’s what I believe because if you believe all of them are bad then you’ll end up not seeing the good and decent ones the problem is not marriage in itself it is who you choose to marry.”
Another user, Ovuemax, argued that marriage can sometimes disadvantage men, especially in certain legal systems abroad.
He wrote: “Marriage is actually not favorable for men if we are being logical, it’s even worse for the people in the western countries. The lady will end it anytime and you most start paying child support, even if she cheated and birth a bastard child, you still pay child support.”
